Heilbronner-Hückel Lecture Tour of Prof. Peter R. Schreiner in Switzerland May 13-17, 2024
Heilbronner- Hückel Lectures 2024
The Swiss Chemical Society is happy to announce the Heilbronner- Hückel Lectures 2024. In collaboration with the GDCh this series is provided on a yearly basis alternately in Switzerland and Germany.
The 2024 series is given by Professor Dr. Peter R. Schreiner from the Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany)
"Cool Organic Chemistry Toward CHO-Systems Chemistry”.
The series is named after the chemists Edgar Heilbronner, born in Munich in 1921 and passed away in Herrliberg in 2006, and Erich Hückel, born in Berlin 1896 and died in Marburg in 1980.
Edgar Heilbronner emigrated together with his wife to Switzerland because of the Nazi regimes and studied chemistry in Zurich at the ETH where he also habilitated later on. In 1968 we changed to University of Basel.
Erich Hückel studied physics and mathematics at the University of Göttingen and habilitated at ETH Zurich as well.

EuChemS releases 2023 Yearbook
The 2023 EuChemS Yearbook was released in February. It contains all the activities of EuChemS over the course of the last year.
EuChemS was involved in numerous scientific and science-policy related undertakings in 2023. The yearbook provides descriptions of policy related advisory groups and events of EuChemS – including, but not limited to stakeholder group participations and policy workshops -, as well as its efforts to strengthen the European chemistry community. It also lists EuChemS Science Communication initiatives and data, as well as information on the constitution of the 2023 Executive board, Divisions, Member Societies and secretariat.
The production of the yearbook was coordinated by the EuChemS Secretariat, but many more members of EuChemS contributed to ensuring the high quality and accuracy of the publication.
We are delighted to invite you to read our 2023 yearbook, and we would be happy to hear about any feedback you may have!
